Since Sony is not implementing always online, even if publishers make it mandatory at add some DRM, restrictions I imagine you can still play single player all you have to do is not log in. On another note, Sony just became Retailers best friend, (Gamestop, BestBuy etc). What System do you think there going to be pushing from now on.

I don't think DRM is completely going away. We had it with the PS3 and 360. As long as it's not as strict as Microsoft is making it out to be i'm cool.

I'm still getting an Xbox One regardless of its policies. I can't stay away from great games.

The ironic contradictions in this post are delicious. Before you buy either console, know this. By buying the console, you are accepting all end user license agreements, terms of use agreements and agreements put in place by the respective games publishers, service providers and respective hardware makers, as is and you waive your right to hold these corporations liable for any and all wrong-doing, mistakes and/or accidents that may or may not come from your use or their introduction software or hardware modification of said products and services. By buying said products and services, you endorse any and all actions taken by the respective corporations and acknowledge that you don't truly own what you buy and that right of ownership truly lies with said respective corporations and that you accept any and all provisions set therein without regard to your constitutional rights or any other rights set forth from decades of precedence and litigation.

In my case, I fully reject and repudiate any and all conditions that will be set forth that violate any one of my constitutional or consumer rights.

Copy and paste job? I don't even, what is this?

At the end of the day millions will buy these consoles. There's nothing we can do about it except vent on social media, send them nasty letters, or whatever and hope they change their minds. They bring us this entertainment so it's ultimately their call at the end of the day.

Nobody can force Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo to entertain us and we can't force them to give us the policies we want. It's a privilege not a right that we can even game. It's just plastic and video games at the end of the day so whatever. I'm not missing out on great games over foolish $#@! and neither should any other gamer.

Edge title is definitely FUD and just want to generate some clicks. Sony stated that what you have on the PS3 now you will have on the PS4 as well. The only thing that publisher could implement is Online Pass but despite that NO DRM on PS4. It´s a real offline console. If you buy it on day one and never go on the internet you can still play EVERY single player game that will release the next 10 years. Period.

will wait for clarification........that Trentton interview after the show just opened up a dead zone where he says that as a publisher Sony's games will not require the DRM, but they wont get in the way of developers and publishers.

That was stated a very long time ago. It's one of the reasons EA most likely got rid of the online pass. Now that its in their hands, they'll probably take advantage of this on Sony's console since its already mandated for Xbox One. It's a way of saying "Look, it's gone!" But in reality it is still there and perhaps even more of a pain in the ass. We'll see though. Still got a few months.

I somewhat felt misled at their conference when they said they wouldnt have all that MS had and then to go on and change their stance later.

I honestly didnt like what MS had, but in recent light of how you can share games and just how little data is needed to ping, i dont think that it that huge a negative. If Sony were to do the same, i dont feel it would be as huge an issue, just dont like it when they went out and said one thing when they actually knew it was factually wrong

Yup, nothing is changing from the PS3 to the PS4. They can try to spin it anyway they want with their "sources" but there have been multiple Sony people that have laid out exactly what their policies will be for the PS4, including Trentton, Yoshida, and Rohde. Edge is clearly trying to stir stuff up to get clicks by being misleading, that's all that article is.

I don't think everyone is getting this. Sony is not putting any DRM on their console, but that doesn't mean that there won't be any DRM from third party publishers. Companies like EA can still put DRM on their games if they choose too, but they will have to use third party software to do it. So potentially EA could make renting and selling used copies of their games a thing of the past, but that will just make people hate them even more and boycott them by not buying $hit them. Unlike Xbox One, Microsoft IS putting DRM built in to their console using their first party software.

The only DRM publishers can use is in the form of some type of online pass. The only way publishers will be able to do this is by making their game online only(to completely restrict the game). Any DRM on offline play is completely restricted.

It is exactly the same as it is with the PS3 except that Sony won't use online passes at all and are discouraging third-parties from using them.

Can anybody else confirm this? That would be badass if Sony has a policy like this.
